Eric,

Thanks for addressing the issue with xfs_repair.

It's not entirely clear -- the JBOD and SAS controller seem to have 
gotten into inconsistent states and I was observing a few SCSI errors 
for those particular LUNs.  While the system was exhibiting the SCSI 
errors, the user of this file system (and a few others like it on the 
host) noticed file corruption when reading/writing certain files, then 
spontaneous corruption after making copies of the files.

I'll take a look at the new xfs_check and see what happens.

Best,
Jesse
